What's despicable is that none of the mainstream media (WSJ, NYTimes, WaPo, Boston Globe, CNN, Fox, etc.) are covering this story. The American people atleast deserve to be informed. How is this not the biggest blow to Apple in terms of its relationship with China? For those who want to go to source: https://www.theinformation.com/articles/facing-hostile-chinese-authorities-apple-ceo-signed-275-billion-deal-with-them https://www.theinformation.com/articles/facing-hostile-chine... Does anyone have subscription? Would love to read Archive.is copy. Thank you.

> What's despicable is that none of the mainstream media (WSJ, NYTimes, WaPo, Boston Globe, CNN, Fox, etc.) are covering this story. The American people atleast deserve to be informed. That's not true. IMHO, this is part of a larger story (Apple's obsequious compromises with China), and the NY Times has previously reported on other parts: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/17/technology/apple-china-censorship-data.html https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/17/technology/apple-china-ce.... It's seems The Information broke this story, but I doubt it will be very long before other outlets catch up.

  I honestly feel like NYTimes is not going to cover it for political reasons. I am happy to be convinced otherwise.

      NYT is extremely predictable - both in its choice of what to inform its viewers as well as what will fit their political stance (globalists). If you need this to be spelled out, either you’re being rhetorical or you’re uninformed - I suspect the former.

No, I suspect you have things wrong in this case, but you're being so vague it's difficult to figure out where the error is. > NYT is extremely predictable - both in its choice of what to inform its viewers as well as what will fit their political stance (globalists). Even if that's true, it's no reason to assume they wouldn't publish this story for some ideological reason, especially given they've published very similar things in the past.

It's just a "The Information reported..." rehash. Everything about this except the original story that I've seen so far has been like that.
